"Our listeners told us to do it, so we did it! As of 4pm today we've removed Lorde- Royals from the our playlist until the end of the World Series," KOIT Program Director Brian Figula wrote on their site. "Go Giants, beat the Royals!"

Kansas City-based radio station 99.7 “The Point” said that as a result of KOIT’s decision, they will put Lorde’s hit “into the highest rotation” for the Oct. 21 opening night of the World Series.

It will be played “on the hour, every hour” from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

“I respect the work of Mr. Brian Figula, 96.5 KOIT Program Director, and his team of broadcast professionals at our sister stations in San Francisco, but we won’t let their anti-Royals spirit ruin this moment,” said program director Tony Lorino. “A few angry San Franciscans who don’t have a song called ‘Giants’ won’t rain on our parade.”
